Why is it that, unlike so many of my peers, instead of being able to crunch down and do all kinds of work the closer a deadline approaches, all I want to do is sleep when I am overwhelmed by work? I'm at my least productive when I have the most to do. I am really *really* tired, and have barely made a dent in my France readings. I can't get more than 5-10 pages without feeling like I'm about to pass out from tiredness :/

I'm the same way. I totally lose my ability to focus under pressure. And I also become quite tired. Such a shame. Good luck though... don't stress out too much.

I am somewhat the same. As deadlines loom and the work begins to overwhelm me, I feel more and more crappy and avoid it more and more. And yet, I can't really focus when I have _too_ much time, either.

You were up pretty late last night, too. Past 1 am your time, anyway, when *I* left to go to bed. So that might have something to with your tiredness today.

Also, you were exposed to cats all weekend, so your immune system is probably somewhat taxed at this time.

*huggles*

Because we save the most important things for last? Amazingly, we do our best work when we feel the least productive!

Hope you get rested up soon!

I don't know, but I've always found academic readings which don't hold my attention/interest to be a soporific exercise.
